Musical Scopes
Not that they make music. Think musical chairs. I have six new scopes to try out but needed rings. A few weeks ago I ordered some 1” Weaver mounts but also needed some rimfire mounts. They came on Friday.
This Henry Classic is my first Henry and it was made in Brooklyn, NY in 1999. Over the last 20 years it has had numerous sights and scopes. It was wearing a Nikon P-Rimfire with medium mounts and now wears a Nikon P-22 with Leupold high rings. With the higher rings I was able to push the scope forward. Now the corner of my mouth comes into contact with the third stitch down. I can close my eyes, shoulder the rifle and position my cheek in the same spot and when I open my eyes I am exactly centered in the scope. This is my next range day rifle which according to the weather might be Wednesday or Thursday.

Re: Musical Scopes
Those Nikon P series scopes are nice. I should probably try to find a couple if anyone still has them.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Musical Scopes
Natchez was out of them the last time I ordered. They are a great scope for the money. I’m updating some of my old 3/4 and 7/8” tube scopes I have.North Country Gal wrote: ↑Mon Nov 23, 2020 3:56 pmThose Nikon P series scopes are nice. I should probably try to find a couple if anyone still has them.

Re: Musical Scopes
I love those vintage scopes, too, but it is really hard to give up the optical superiority of modern scopes for the sake of looks and tradition when to comes time to shoot, especially now with ammo prices being what they are.
